History and Landmarks
The Macdonald Landmarks are a series of sculptural interpretive markers designed to share the history of Macdonald Avenue-Richmond’s historic “Main Street." The five markers describe the Avenue’s many evolutions, including its important role as the heart of the city during World War II, when Richmond was home to the nation’s largest shipbuilding effort. These and the Bay Trail markers were developed by historian Donna Graves with designers Mayer/Reed.
